Decadent December
The Holiday season is upon us, but that doesn’t have to mean needing to stress and slave away in the kitchen, does it? Absolutely NOT! This month, Our Honor is excited to present some of our favorite content creators who make cooking as joyful (or almost as joyful) as eating! Let’s normalize serving compassion on our plates without compromising on taste, traditions, ethics, and the future of our planet.
Check out our Top 5 picks for December to wrap up 2022 with some plant-powered pomp and delight!
1) Sweet Simple Vegan and Conscious Chris
We’ve got a plant-powered duo you are going to want to follow STAT if you aren’t already! Jasmine and Chris make exploring plant-based eats an adventure no one would want to miss out on. Some of our favorite content features Jasmine’s Sweet Simple Mom, who teaches followers how to make vegan versions of traditional Filipino dishes that have the power to convert any staunch skeptic. The sweet and simple mission is to make plant-based living easy and enjoyable with delicious recipes that won’t break the bank and guides on how to order a plant-based meal at fast food and chain restaurants. If vegan-friendly grocery hauls and product reviews are your jam, look no further than Jasmine and Chris’s one-stop-content-shop! Their rescued companion dogs Barry and Louie are also bound to bring smiles to your day.
2) Alexa Fueled Naturally
Wholesome Mexican cuisine sans compromise on culture is exactly what Alexa delivers in her content. Her captivating photography and aesthetic presentations accentuate the experience of simple ingredients that pack an unrestrained punch of flavor! Embarking on her plant-based journey fueled Alexa’s passion for cooking and love for sharing her creations with the world. We love creators who are busting the myth that plant-based foods are boring and bland. As Alexa unapologetically shows, the flavors and aromas we know and love in our favorite foods are from (surprise surprise) PLANTS!
3) Vegan Richa
We are diehard fans of award-winning recipe developer, Richa Hingle’s creations! Her recipes include flavorful Indian dishes from across the subcontinent with easy-to-follow instructions that even a newbie in the kitchen can find their way to whip up a tasty meal! We love how she makes the sumptuous variety in Indian cuisine accessible to all with a plant-based upgrade. Richa’s content is by no means limited to Indian cuisines–skillet lasagnas, tacos, creamy pastas, vegan bourguignon, baked goods…..the list goes on! And for those who’d rather not spend much time in the kitchen and the instant pot is your best friend, Richa has got you covered on that too!
4) Pick Up Limes
Cozy vibes with nourishing plant-based eats are exactly what Pick Up Limes delivers with its content. Sadia Badiei, the compassionate visionary behind the platform embarked on her plant-powered journey while working as a dietitian at a hospital in Vancouver, Canada. It wasn’t long before she discovered her joy for sharing tasty recipes, travel adventures, tips on sustainable living, minimalist lifestyle and packing (could DEFINITELY use that one!), and much more. This is a comforting space for delicious recipes from across the globe and resources for living a simple, full, vibrant, plant-fueled life.
5) Vegan Nigerian
Tomi Makanjuola, AKA the Vegan Nigerian is a Nigerian-born chef and blogger living in London. Tomi is on a mission to bring dishes from her Nigerian heritage into the “mainstream” culinary discourse. Not only does her content highlight the vastly overlooked variety of ingredients, cooking techniques, flavors, textures, and hearty dishes that her culture affords, but she also disabuses her followers of the notion that animal products are essential in Nigerian cuisines. Rather, what makes a dish top-notch, is the variety of spices, grains, and vegetables that nourish our bodies and taste buds!
